Chapter 1: Explanations.
Everyone turned to stare at the door to where Sirius was stood. He looked different. His hair was cut shorter, he was wearing a pair of blue muggle jeans and a black button up shirt and he had gained a little weight so he didn't look gaunt anymore. He looked a lot healthier than he did two years ago.
"Sirius, I thought I asked you to wait outside?" Dumbledore spoke filling the silence.
"I thought it was best I was here when you explained." He replied quietly.
Dumbledore nodded and turned his attention back to the order members "I will explain everything all I ask is for you not to interrupt me until I have finished. I will answer any questions you have then." He looked around the room nobody spoke so he went on. "As you are aware two years ago Voldemort realised that he and Harry shared a connection, we were aware of this fact before him and it had proved quite useful." He glanced briefly at Mr Weasley. "However when Voldemort realised this link he began to think of ways to use it to his advantage. Voldemort thought that if he could make Harry believe that someone he cared about was in danger he could use that knowledge to lure him into some kind of trap to retrieve the prophecy." Dumbledore explained. "That night at the ministry I realised this and when Sirius fell through the veil I saw an opportunity. I thought that if Voldemort had used Sirius to get to Harry once then he'd do it again so I went back and took Sirius out of the veil and hid him until he recovered and led you all to believe that he was dead. I couldn't let you know of my plan because I needed it to be as believable as possible. I just want you to know that Sirius had no part in this nor was he happy about any of it, but at the time I thought it was the best thing to do and Voldemort stopped using Legimens against Harry. As the death eaters are now aware of the situation there is no need for Sirius to be in hiding anymore." Harry stood up from his seat and walked towards Sirius.
"So your not dead then?" He asked sarcastically.
"Harry please let me explain."
"Explain what?" He yelled at Sirius. "How you lied to me, pretended to be dead did you even try to fight for me at all."
"Of course I did Harry I care about you."
"well you have a funny way of showing it. You spend the first 12 years of my life in Askaban, then you have to go into hiding, then when your name is finally cleared you fake your own death and as for you Professor I used to respect you" He spat.
"I did all that for you." Sirius said calmly. "Harry please don't hate me. I couldn't bear it."
"I love you Si, but right now I fucking hate you." He shouted heading towards the door. Sirius went to following him.
"Sirius" He spun around and saw Hermione stood behind him with her arms crossed.
"Hermione I..." He started to say but he was cut off by Hermione.
"How could you Sirius. Just walk out of his life like that? All our lives?" She asked him.
"It's not like I had a choice." He replied not looking at her. He had suddenly found the floor far more interesting.
"There is always a choice Sirius. You just always seem to make the wrong one. Did you honestly you think that we'd just run into your arms forget that the last two years had never happened, that we'd be ok with this." She was shouting at him now. "We went to your funeral, we grieved for you and now you think that you can walk back into our lives and just expect us to forgive you and move on. The last two years all Harry, Remus and I have wanted was for you to come back but not like this Sirius. Right now I wish..." she paused for a second looking directly at him not breaking her gaze. "I wish you hadn't come back because at least then I wouldn't hate you so much!" She screamed the last part at him. She turned to storm out the door, he grabbed hold of her arm and she spun around and slapped him in the face. "Don't touch me. Just leave me alone I can't talk to you right now or I might say something I'll regret." A single tear ran down her cheek as she walked out the door. He stared after her rubbing the side of his face where she'd slapped him.
"Wow if that's Hermione holding back i'd hate to see her when she's really pissed off." George said with a nervous laugh.
"George Weasley." Mrs Weasley scolded.
"What I was just trying to lighten up the mood a little." He replied.
Sirius watched Remus stand up from the table and begin to walk towards him he braced himself for what was about to happen. Remus walked up to him pulled himself into a brotherly hug "I'll talk to you later, but I think there's someone who needs me more right now." and with that he walked out the door. Sirius just stood and stared at the door where the three people who he cared about most in the world had just vacated. A man pushed by him roughly heading to the door Sirius didn't know who he was nor did he care. Without saying another word he apparated to his room.
Hermione's Room.
She was storming around her room throwing her clothes into an open suitcase in the middle of her bed. She heard someone enter the room she turned around and was met by Remus's soft eyes he was smiling at her.
"Where do you think your going." He asked quietly.
"I just need to get away from for a while I can't think properly here." she stopped for a moment and smiled back at him.
"I just think you should calm down Mione. Just sleep on it tonight and then if you still want to go in the morning then you can." he was trying to make her see sense. "I just don't want you to do anything rash that's all. You know I care about you."
"I just don't know what to do.I need some time on my own I can't stay in the same house as him right now" she had tears rolling down her face now. He walked over to her and wiped away the tears that were falling down her face then pulled her into a hug then pulled her away kissing her on the forehead.
"Mione." It was Mark she looked up at him and smiled. "You going somewhere?"
"I just need some time out."
"Don't you think your overreacting a little?" He asked.
"You know what I don't think I am someone I thought was dead just told us all he wasn't. I think I'm acting quite calmly all things considered." she snapped back at him.
"I don't think you are. I mean I can understand Harry's outburst he was his godfather after all, but I don't get why you acted the way you did, I mean your acting like you were in love with him or something?" He looked at her she didn't have to say anything, her face said it all and she wouldn't look at him in the eye. "Oh my god your in fucking love with him aren't you? Am I not enough for you?." He shouted at her.
"It's not like it sounds Mark. Please you have to hear me out." She pleaded with him. "I did love him two years ago before I ever met you. I thought I was over him, but seeing him again brought back some old feelings. Its you I want to be with."
"Why don't you come and find me when you get over this stupid schoolgirl crush of yours, that's if I'm still waiting for you." He spat at her.
"Mark don't be like that."
"Like what exactly." He shouted. "How would you like me to react."
"Not like this I just need time." She answered.
"Have all the time you need." He said heatedly.
"What are you saying?" She cried.
"Fine I'll spell it out to you. I think we should take a break until you realise what you want. We're over you pretty much just told me you were in love with someone else and I can't deal with that right now cause I love you and it hurts to much." With that he apparated out of the room. Remus walked over to her, gave Her a brief hug.
"I'm just gonna go check on Teddy then I'll be back with all the ice cream and chocolate you can eat an we'll talk ok honey." He said with a wry grin. "I'll be back in about 10 minutes don't go anywhere." He said eying her suitcase. She nods her head as he walked out the door. When she was sure he was gone and he wasn't coming back she waved her wand and her remaining clothes flew into her case and it shut itself. she took one last look around the room she shared with Ginny and then apparated.
